Hacking New Classic Controller Hacks

[awesomeee]

@Vague Rant
Awesome! Ill look into the common key tester soon

Also, the easy gct embedder seems to not work sadly, ill look into it

The riivolution ISO builder can be used to patch Kirby wii with metafortress by the way, either way works but the iso builder is more simple lol

@Vague Rant I finally managed to get a good common key working!
There is a big flaw though, the TMD is not being correctly signed, and the game still has gibberish in the title. If you can look into that when you feel like doing so, that would be awesome (take a break dude! get some rest!) Thanks!

I've tested the usa version of kirby's return to dreamland as a wii u inject and it's working like a charme. Thanks a lot for that

 

[supermist]

This will be very handy in the future

 

[awesomeee]

@Vague Rant IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
I have requested that your fluidity icons be added to the UWUVCI respository for inject images. I have made sure to tell them the credit goes to you, so im telling you so you know

The TMD not being correctly signed isn't an issue, that's normal for a hacked WAD. Official TMDs are cryptographically signed by Nintendo, while a modified TMD for a WAD that you've unpacked, modified and repacked has to be fakesigned. For most purposes, fakesigning is fine, but titles can't be run from the SD card without additional console hacks. This is why some users install hacked IOSes which disable the signature checks (specifically IOS80, which the System Menu runs on).

As for why the title is still coming up gibberish, I have no idea what's going wrong there. Everything's working fine on my end. Did you apply the patch to a clean WAD of the original game?

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is a 3D platformer with a retro sci-fi B-movie premise. A comet has plummeted to Earth, affecting much of the plant and animal life, in particular the titular mushrooms. Pax, a walking, talking bolete mushroom with psychic powers must navigate the treacherous world of infected plants and animals and rival mushroom tribes. Uniquely, many of the game's collectibles serve a gameplay purpose: Pax can combine the trinkets found around the world to build new and more powerful weapons.

Adding to this is an excellent soundtrack by Les Claypool of the funk metal band, Primus. Red Fly Studio (Ghostbusters, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II) attempted to build a successful franchise around this game, with a DS prequel and Steam sequel, but sadly closed down in 2019.

Highlight for @tech_A_nina for introducing me to this game.

General Notes​

• I threw menu sanity to the wind for this one. This game realistically needs all four face buttons and there's not really any room for rotation. Similar to Epic Mickey, this one has a lot of inputs counting buttons, shakes and the pointer, so there's not much opportunity to double-up on buttons. If you're used to playing games on the Wii Remote A/B then Classic B/ZR for Confirm/Cancel is physically not that odd, but it's mildly weird regardless. Feel free to remap it yourself in the Technical Notes.
  
  
• Like Mario Galaxy or Epic Mickey, this game makes semi-frequent use of the IR pointer in platforming, puzzle-solving and combat. I'd say it falls in between those two as far as how often you need to use the pointer: less than all the time (Mickey) but more than practically never (Galaxy). For that reason (and because I ran out of buttons), the pointer is on a toggle, with the R button switching the Right Stick between IR pointer and D-Pad emulation.
  
  
  • There's also some trickery going on here. When you press the X, Plus or Minus buttons, all of which open different menus, IR pointer emulation is switched to the Left Stick. When you exit the menu, this feature is disabled again. It's important to note that the hack doesn't actually know what's going on in the game, it only knows what button you pressed last.
    
    It's possible to get yourself into weird situations by e.g. pressing X during a loading screen, which will enable Left Stick pointer emulation once you get in-game (where the Left Stick is already in use for movement). Opening or closing the Home Button Menu also resets the pointer mode back to the Right Stick. This means you can cause some weirdness if you e.g. open the in-game Pause menu, then open and close the Home Button Menu.
    
    
    • Remember, the R button is a dedicated on/off toggle for IR pointer mode. If you get yourself into a weird situation like mentioned above, you can always use the R button to switch back to Right Stick mode. If this happens inside a menu, you can either deal with using the Right Stick temporarily, or close and re-open the menu to re-enable Left Stick mode. You get it, It's not that hard to deal with.

Technical Notes​

Spoiler: Boring

This one has one of those jerk Nunchuk shakes. I didn't want to go to the effort of doing it semi-properly again like I had to figure out for Epic Mickey, so I just did a game-specific hack that triggers a "Nunchuk shake" manually.

Code breakdown:

• C2: fake a Nunchuk shake (manually trigger shake behavior)
• C2: bypass "insert the Nunchuk" error message
• C2 in read_kpad_acc(): fake a Wiimote shake ("properly", by injecting fake accelerometer data)
• C2 in calc_dpd_variable(): normally this is just the IR pointer emulation, but since pointer/D-Pad emulation are handled on a toggle, all of that is in here this time
• 04 in read_kpad_stick(): redirect Classic Left Stick into Nunchuk Stick field
• C2 in KPADRead(): button injector

@Vague Rant I did get fluidity working but the gibberish is weird thats all.

 

[Charco]

Can these codes be added to wherever USB Loader GX downloads it's Ocarina codes to avoid having to make manual changes to exiting .txt files on the SD card?

 

[tech_A_nina]

@Vague Rant that was fast. Wooow. You are the GOAT of cc hacks. Thank you very much

Edit: I have tested it on the wii u already and it's really good. The toggle option of the IR pointer makes it even better now. Genius decision

 

[awesomeee]

I also found some new fluidity techniques thanks to your cc hack! Because of the very precise angle, you can go extremely fast in the ice playroom, its funny lol
Ill make a video on it soon

Hi @Vague Rant . Thanks for your Kirby's patch and code with shake emulation. It works perfectly as inject.
I have a issue with my SMG2 gamepad inject : when i press home button, the gamepad's totally disconnecting and i can't come back to the game.
The only thing i can is shutdown wii u.
The fix i already mentioned which works for little king's story doesn't work for SMG2.
Is there a way to fix it ?
I don't have this problem with Galaxy 1 gamepad inject.

 

[creedof69]

Seeing this thread make me full of hope and I'm wondering if a similar thread can appear nowadays to patch on the fly with codes to replace the GameCube inputs with the GameCube adapter inputs on the vWii's Wii U. To finally make Wii U capable of replacing the Wii entirely. Or wait and hope the RvLoader come to Wii U with the GC adapter support ^^

 

[tech_A_nina]

This is definitely one where I compromised slightly on the button layout for the sake of keeping menu navigation sane.

@Vague Rant I just injected "Jett Rocket" successfully to the wii u menu. Thanks again for the possibility. Since you decided to keep the menu navigation sanity over the gameplay, I had an idea where you could have both. Just mirror the jump button to A and Y. In this case it's easy to hold Y for jump, B for interaction, ZR for shake/dash and ZL to re-center the camera. And you would have the A and B buttons for confirm and back prompts in the navigation menu. But of course if it's too much of a hassle, then it's ok like it is. If there's one thing I have learned here, then it's to believe the master when he says it's complicated

Hello all.
I would like to make a quick statement here.

For a while, i have been only asking for hacks and doing a little help, by reccomending the GCT embedder.

So from now on, i will try my best to help anyone that is having trouble in this thread

I will make a simpler process for a patched Kirby Wii ISO when i have time, that uses the Riivolution ISO builder and another tool.

Hello all. I have made a simple Kirby Wii ISO Patcher. This uses the Riivolution ISO Builder and the Easy GCT Embedder, so i have made sure to leave credits in this program.

@Vague Rant Can the Easy GCT embedder be placed somewhere in the first post of this thead? It will be useful to anyone making a VC inject.
PS: Its fine if not, would just be useful

I'm interested if there will be a controller patch for No More Heroes 1

I just looked at that games controls and im a little concerned, it uses up and down wiimote tilt attacks, it might be possible though, Vague Rant did manage to get Mario sports mix underhand and overhand shots working, and epic mickey which is an extremely difficult game, interesting idea!

Can you do Sonic Riders Zero Gravity please? Game has GC controller support, Wii remote sideways support, wii remote vertical support, but no CC support, which makes it incompatible with the Wii U gamepad.

Edit: Also Looney Tunes Acme Arsenal please, game was released on PS2 and Xbox 360 with controller support but on Wii it forces the nunchuck and is full of forced waggle.

@Vague Rant... I promised i wasn't gonna do a request lol but could the Wii SSX game be possible?

I mean like, is it do-able?

Does that game support the Nunchuk? If not, what are the controls?

Believe so, in a both chuck and wiimote setup iirc. Also bit of flickery going on!

Akin to a smg set up and play style I'd say.
